I want to be a cat...

Oh to be a cat....

just think of that!

Sleeping on whatever pleases

while dreaming of tasty meeses.

Carelessly shedding furry hairs

and lounging on the sunny stairs

No chores for me-no siree

my life is aimless- so carefree

To be a cat would be a laugh

No bosses here- as I have staff !!

Relax!

Relaxation

Enjoyed

Lazy

Aimless

Rules, Regulations and Laws

A Silly Law in Hood River, Oregon

Juggling is strictly prohibited

Without a license.

What? Are you kidding?

It doesn't make sense.

This is silly and who wrote this law?

That idiot unable to catch a chain saw.

Good thing these guys were in Portland, Oregon

and then last but NOT least:

Body Language

The tilt of the head

Hand pushing away

Toe tapping instead

Of walking away

The silent whisper

of a body motion

Evokes a glimmer

In hopes deep ocean

Journey and the Road Ahead

Our Journey Together

Do we take the road less travelled

The fork in the road that's only graveled

Or do we take the super highways

Ignoring those intriguing secret byways

We'll take the wiggly road that's off the map

Rather than drive through life just taking a nap.

Christmas of Today and Christmases Past

Christmas of Today

and Christmases Past

Today is much simpler

With only stockings to fill

But I miss the childish chuckles

In the early morning still

Of sweet children opening gifts

Of toys so wanted and admired

Whispered softly in Santa's ear

What those little hearts desired

And in that early morning

As parents yawn and smile

They watch their lovely children

Past remembrances beguile

Jingles Poetry Potluck

Week 15 theme: reflections, interpretations, and musings.

Reflecting upon this past year

Over mistakes made and

Good deeds gone well

Interpreting words spoken

Were they cruel or just the truth

Musing over mistakes, deeds and words

I realize it's up to me

To improve or ignore

Plants, Creatures and the Cosmos

Emerald green home

It's beauty turns into wings

And heads to the stars

Magic & Miracles, Wonder & Wizardry-Potluck Poetry

Magic
Grab a wand
With a twist of the wrist-poof!
It's amazing

Miracles
Give a hand
With a smile helping someone
It's happiness


Wonder
Open your eyes
To our beautiful planet
Cherish it

Wizardry

All of us

In a blink of an eye
Can be magic

Can be miracles

Can be wonderful

Can't we?

Magpie Tales 40, 40.5 Monkey Business and Jingle Potluck

Traveling in Mexico has kind of

shortened my ability to blog.

So I am cheating a bit and using the following

for both Magpie Tales and Jingles Potluck Poetry.I hope that's okay?

First I googled Capuchine Monkeys because of Willow's photo prompt for this week's

Magpie Tale and came up with this website:

http://london.dootee.co.uk/capuchine-monkeys-for-sale-iid-73349701

How dare they????????

Capuchine babies for sale

How many dollars per tail?

Ripped from their mothers hearts

How could anyone take part?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After I posted the above- I wanted to write something a lot more posisitve-so here's a second try for Magpie Tales and also for Jingle's Potluck Poetry:

Magpie 40.5 and Jingles Potluck Poetry- this week's theme is Moods, Feelings and Emotions

My children are little monkeys-

hanging from trees and swinging with ease-

life is so simple wanting only to please-

their thoughts are wise under those blond curls

much more valuable than a string of pearls

~~~~~~~

When my youngest son was only 4 years old he said to me-

"Are you happy because it's a sunny day?"

With a start I heard those words and realized that I was allowing the weather to affect how I behaved. From then on I viewed each day as a gift and not a bother if it wasn't a sunny day. He helped me see how ridiculous I was to let myself get into such a bad habit. A wise child indeed.

Happy Halloween!

Here's a little poem I wrote for Halloween...

And for Jingle's Poetry Potluck too...

BOO!

Once upon a dark and gloomy night

I was out for a little tiny bite

Of a tasty neck

Oh what the heck

It's my diet and I'll eat what I like

Potluck Poem- Love and Romance

Love and Romance

It's a lively dance

A cha cha cha

A YES YES YES

I do gotcha

Machismo tangle

of legs and arms

A sexy samba

Aie Yie Caramba

Swift sure steps with

Feet in motion

Set the oceans

Of deep emotions

And there's that pause

When eyes glance

Oh take that chance

Of that forever dance

Seven Deadly Sins-Potluck Poem

This weeks prompt for Poetry Potluck is the Seven Deadly Sins....

I did have just a wee bit o' fun with this one!

http://jinglepoetry.blogspot.com/2010/10/poetry-potluck-seven-deadly-sins.html

She lustily sighed "Oh, please just one more"

Enviously eying the one she adored

Oozing with avarice and enormous greed

Her hand lazily reached over with a hungry need

Only to be met with a fierce hot anger

Refusing to admit her crumby fatal flaw

Of caloric intake beyond all awe

No wonder she cannot fit into her tiny size six

Those VooDoo Doughnuts got her into this fix.

"It's all their fault!"

Jingle is a fellow writer/poet that I first became acquainted with on Magpie Tales blog for writers. Magpie Tales was created by Willow and she dedicated this blog for "the enjoyment of writers, for the purpose of honing their craft, sharing it with like minded bloggers, and keeping their muses alive and well."
http://magpietales.blogspot.com/

Jingle not only writes and posts on Magpie Tales but also takes the time to read other's blogs and awards different blogs weekly. It's an act of kindness that takes not only thought but precious time and we all appreciate that! So- thanks Jingle for that and thanks Willow for giving all of us such a creative venue!
